To 015 10771077?) concern.

Be it known thatI, JOSEPH JEROME Gare- NON, a subject of theiKing of'Gr'eat Britain,

residing at Ste. Scholastique, county of Two 7 Mountains,in the1Province of Queb'ec, Can

ada, have invented certain new -and useful Improvements in Fishing-Reels; "and I do hereby declare that the following is a "full,

, clear, and exactdescri-ptjon of the invention,

suchas will enabl-e'others skilled the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates t6 fishing-reels:

The object of my invention is to provide a reel with means forgiving' an alarm when'the lineis being unwoundztherefrom. A A further object is to provide means for producing a'spring tension on the line when it is b'ein ,wound'or unwound.

rther object is .to provide an adjustable winding-handle and means for adjustin the reel-casing transversel of'the rod; an my invention consists of t e construction, comb1nat1on,and:. arrangement of parts, as herein illustrated, described, and claimed.

In the accom anying drawings, forming part of this appi'cation, I. have illustrated one formof embodiment .Of my invention, in

. which drawings jsimilar' reference characters designatecorrespondi'ng parts and in which- Figure 1 is a front elevation of the reel-cas- 'in showing in vertical section the alarmh m 'tion on ine'3 ,3 of Fig. 2 looking in the direcbe 1.5 2 is atop plan front elevatio'n'of ete device. Fig. 3 is a'vertical sectionindi'cated bythe arrow; and Fig. 4-is a vertical section on line 4 4- of Fig. 1 looking inthedirection indicated by the arrow.

Referring tothe drawings,- 1 designatesa housing carrying a shaft 2, having its ends projectingbeyond the housing. Secured on Y with the collar 5 is a handle 7,h avi1'1g-a crank portion 8. On the'end of the bar 3 opposite --to the openings ,4 is a counterweight 9. By

means of." this construction the shaft'2 may be rotated to wind the reel 10, fixed on the shaft2.il 1

The housing 1, is provided with a slot 1 1 in its lower; portion, adapted to receive the headed screw 12; carried on a guide-lip 13,

adapted to engage under a yoke 14, carried Slidably guide for the lunger.

by the rod 15. By means of this construc- Y tion the housing 1 may be adjusted transversely of the rod 15.

. Carried by .thhousing 1 at one side is a pedestal 16, and adjacent the pedestal is secured a pinion 17 on the shaft 2. Secured to the outer face of the pedestal 16 is a plate 18,

carrying adjacent its upper edge-a block 19,

having .an openin 20 therein. Disposed throughthewalls 0' the block 19 and extending through the opening 20 isa guide-pin 21. I

' osed in the o ening 20 is a plum 1s ger 22, on w ich is secure aspring 23. Provided in the lunger and spring is a slot 24,

through whic passes the pin 21, forming a spring 23 is a apted to engage the pinion 17,

The lower end of the and by adjusting the plunger 22 upward or downward more or less tension may be, pro

.duced on the shaft 2, or 'the plunger 22 may be'raised until the spring 23 is disengaged i from the pinion 17, thereby removin a tension except such as is produced by t e moV- able parts hereinafter described.

Secured on the shaft 2 adjacent the plate 18 is a clutch member25, and slidably disposed on the shaft 2 is a loosely-mounted clutch member 26, adapted to engage the clutch member 25 when the reel is being unwound. Carried by the clutch member 26 is a gear 27. Extending from the plate 18 is an angular bracket 28, on which is pivotallymounted a lever 29, having a lower bifurcated end 30, adaptedtoengage the gear 27 and force the clutch member .26 into engagement with the" clutch mem'ber25l The gear 27 is disposed in engagement with a inion 31, se-

cured on the arbor 32, which ar or is carried by the bracket 28 and the plate 18.- Carried by the pinion 31 1s a ratchet-wheel '33 in engagement with an escapeme'nt 34, carried ,on a sleeve 35, which sleeve is rockably supportedbyan arbor 36, carried by the,

bracket 28 and the plate 18. Secured on the sleeve 35 is an arrn'37, bearing on its free end a Weight 38, adapted to strike against a bell 39. By throwing the clutch member 26 into' engagement with the clutch member 35 when the reel is unwound rotation of the gear 27 is caused, thereby causing rotation of the pinion 3'11and the ratchet-Wheel 33, which contacts with the escapement 34 and causes the sleeve 35 to rock, throwing the weight 38.

against the bell 39. The clutch members are normally maintained out of engagement by means of a coil-spring 40, one end of which IIO thrustsagainst the gear 27 and the opposite endlof which thrusts against the late 18, a

' suitable pin 41 being secured to t e plate 18 to support the s rin Havin thus hillydescribed my invention,

what I c aim as new, and desire ,to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a reel, the combination comprising a housing, a shaft carried by the housing and having its ends projecting therebeyond, a bar on the shaft provided with openings, a collar.

: slidabl disposed on the bar, a pin projecting throu'g the collarand the openings, a reel on the shaft,- means for applying a tension to the shaft, and means for giving an audible alarm when the shaft is rotated.

, 2. In a fishing-reel, thecombinationcomprisin a housing provided with a transverse slot, a eaded screw disposed in the slot, a lip secured to the screw, a shaft carried by-the housin and having its ends projecting therebeyon means for applying a tension on the -gedestal, a plunger dispose lock; a'spring on'the plunger ada te to en-' shaft, and means for giving an audible'alarm I when'the shaft is rotated, e

:3. ,In a fishing-reel, the combination comprising a housing, a shaft carried by the housmg, a pinion on the shaft, a pedestal on the housing, a slotted block su orted by the I throu h the age the pinion, a pin disposed t ough the lock and through a slot provided in the plungel and the spring, and means for an audible alarm when the shaft is rotated.

4. Ina-fishing-ieel, the combination coma weighted arm earrie bell fixed on the shaft. 4

5.- In a fishing-reel, the combination comprising a housing, a shaft carried by the hone-- 1 shaft, a clutch mem' second clutch member, a pinion in mesh with the'gear, a ratchet carried by the pinion, an

escapement in engagement with the ratchet, a sleeve adapted to so. port the escapement, shy the sleeve,'and a mg, meansiorapp lying' a tensio on the ed on the sha t, a 5131 ing adapted tonormally maintain said clutc membersout of. engage ment, a pin adapted to .,suppo'rt the sprin 0 meansfor causing en agement of-the elutc li' members, a gear out e second clutch member, a(pmion 1n mesh with the gear, a ratchet came by the imon, an esca ement in engagement with he ratchet, a s eeve adapted to sup ort the escapement, a weighted arm carri'e' by the sleeve, and a bell fixed -on the shaft.

In witness whereof I'have hereunto setmy hand n the presence of two witnesses.
